About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To tick off as many bucket list items in the next 12 months...then make more!

ABOUT ME

I work as a system consultant/administrator in Melbourne. I provide training and improve business practices and processes using technology.
Though I'm moving back to Perth, Australia for my 2014 round the world trip.
Planning to say goodbye to the office and tick off some bucket list items during my travels and meet some great people. It all kicks off in June!

Some of my Bucket List items I'm about to complete.
I'm going bungee jumping for the first time - Off the worlds largest platform in Macau, China
Going to fly a helicopter in New York, USA
Scuba Diving in Tulum, Mexico
Road tripping through USA
plus much more, I'd end up writing an essay.

PHILOSOPHY

Work/Live Smarter not Harder.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new so looking to surf then when I'm back in Australia provide a couch for others. One day!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing the website, filling out this profile.

Interests

I enjoy making video montages using gopro cameras but also music production and beat boxing performances.
Looking to perform more openly in different public spaces and hope people will enjoy my music.
I love spicy food, show me a market place and I'm in my element.

I'm looking to further improve my creative endeavors whilst out on the road but also complete my Scuba dive training.
I've completed my Open Water and Advanced Open Water for the SSI dive school.
Hoping to eventually become a dive instructor and keep my travelling dream alive.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Into anything really.
Music: Mostly house and breaks electronic music
Books: Not much of a reader though I'm open to any suggestions

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a 15m wooden swan burn at a festival in Western Australia whilst it was pouring down with rain.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you let me stay with you then I will teach you how to beatbox. If you don't know what beatboxing is then its the art of using your voice and mouth alone to make music. Incorporating beats, rhymes and basslines to form a composition.

I want to learn how to cook. I already know how to cook my type of food but I'm keen to learn what other cultures cook.
